IMPORTANT: If using an external communication device, see the VISTA-GSM
Module Installation section of the Installation and Setup Guide (Inadequate
Signal Strength paragraph) for physical installation of an external
communication device. When complete, enter 1 at this prompt and enter 1-Prog
at the next prompt. Then program the external device using the Installation and
Setup Guide included with the external communication device.

Internal Device Programming Prompts
The keys used to select and enter options now follow 7720P keypad emulation.
Refer to the table on the previous page for detailed key functions. The following
is a summary:
[∗] = scroll the options of a particular prompt
[#] = accept the entry and move to the next prompt
[A] = backspace or shift-[A} for escape
[B] = scroll to next prompt or shift-[B] scroll to previous prompt
[C] = answer No or shift-[C] answer Yes to prompt
[D] = shift key
Internal Device Selection
Select the type of IP and/or GSM module usage (press [∗] to scroll choices):
Disabled (none); IP only; GSM module only; IP & GSM
[#] to continue
Multi-Mode (email reporting)
This feature is available only after authorization for it is set via the web-based
programming tool on the AlarmNet Direct website.
Multi-mode emulates 4204 Relay Module outputs to send up to four (4204
sourced) or up to eight (2-4204 sourced) reports of system events to the user via
email (email address is entered at the AlarmNet Direct website). Use the
AlarmNet Direct website to customize event titles, if desired. If enabled, a multi-
mode address must be entered in the next prompt.
Use *79/*80 Menu modes to program each emulated output to trigger a desired
system event that, upon occurrence, will be sent to the user’s email address.
Select the desired multi mode option:
Disabled = no email reporting of events
4204 Sourced = up to four types of events reported (relay numbers 1-4 report
as events 1-4 respectively)
2-4204 Sourced = up to eight types of events reported (first module’s relay
numbers 1-4 report as events 1-4 respectively; second
module’s relay numbers 1-4 report as events 5-8 respectively)
To scroll the choices: [∗] key scrolls forward; [backspace] key scrolls backward
[#] to continue
NOTES:
1. Multi-mode has not been evaluated by UL.
2. Multi-mode (email notification) is intended as a convenience for the user,
and does not replace Central Station reporting of critical events (alarms,
troubles, etc.).
Multi-Mode Address
This prompt appears if Multi Mode is enabled.
12-15 =emulated 4204 Relay Module address.
If using “2-4204-sourced,” the address of the second module is automatically
assigned an address one higher than the first module’s address.
NOTE: A 4204 Relay module address is required for multi-mode purposes, but
an actual 4204 Relay module is not used.
Primary City ID
NOTE: Account information is provided by the central station administrator.
01-99 (decimal) = 2-digit primary city code
Primary CS ID
Enter the primary central station's system ID number, 01-FE (HEX)
Primary Sub ID
Enter the 4-digit customer account number, 0001-9999 (decimal).
Remote Access
This feature is available only after authorization for it is set via the web-based
programming tool on the AlarmNet Direct website.
Remote Services allow the end user to access their security system from a
computer via the remote services website. Most system functions can then be
performed.
[Y] = use remote services
[N] = do not use remote services
[#] to continue
Keypad Address (for Remote Access)
This prompt appears if remote access is enabled.
For enhanced remote access features, choose an AUI address. If no AUI
addresses are available (all four AUIs are being used), choose an available
standard keypad address (some remote access features will be unavailable).
1, 2, 5, 6 = emulated AUI address
17-23 = emulated standard keypad address
NOTE: An AUI or standard keypad address is required for remote access
purposes, but an actual AUI device or keypad is not used.
Supervision
The supervising station must hear from the IP/GSM at least once during the
supervision period. AlarmNet transmits a communications failure alarm to the
central station if the supervision message is not received within the period.
This selection sets the supervision timing for one of the following values:
if using IP and/or GSM if using IP only (not for GSM usage)
•30 day •US UL Line (6 Min)
•24-hours •US UL Line (90 Sec)
•None (no supervision) •CN UL Line Lv1 3 (3 Min)
•CN UL Line Lv1 4 (90 Sec)
•CN UL Line Lv1 5 (75 Sec)
•1 hour

GSM Rollover Y/N
Appears only if IP&GSM is selected as Internal Device option.
[Y] = all messages (including AlarmNet network supervisory messages) are
sent over the GSM network in the event of an Internet failure
[N] = all messages (except AlarmNet network supervisory messages) are sent
automatically over the GSM network in the event of an Internet failure
GSM 24Hr Tst Y/N
Appears only if IP&GSM is selected as Internal Device option.
[Y] = have a message sent once a day to verify GSM operation. A "secondary
communication path loss" message is generated if the message is not
successfully delivered.
[N] = disable 24hr test
Old Alarm Time
The old alarm time sets how long an undeliverable alarm is retried for delivery
to AlarmNet. If the message is not validated, it is retried until the old alarm time
is reached or the message is validated. The choices available are:
•10 Minutes •4 Hours
•15 Minutes •8 Hours
•30 Minutes •12 Hours
•1 Hour •24 Hours
•2 Hours
To scroll the choices: [∗] key scrolls forward; [backspace] key scrolls backward

IP Fault Time
Appears only if IP or IP&GSM is selected as Internal Device option.
00-99 = time delay (in minutes) before the control notifies the central station that
there is a loss of contact with the network over the Ethernet (IP)
connection.
0 = no delay (valid only If using IP only)
Must be two (2) minutes for UL installations.
GSM Flt Time
Appears only if GSM or IP&GSM is selected as Internal Device option.
00-99 = time delay (in minutes) before the control notifies the central station
that a loss of contact with AlarmNet network has occurred.
0 = no delay (valid only if using GSM only,
Must be two (2) minutes for UL installations.
Notify Panel Of _
Appears only if IP&GSM is selected as Internal Device option.
Select from the following choices:
•Neither Fault
•Both IP and GSM must fail before fault code is sent (status code 4005
displayed); panel receives primary and secondary path failure messages.
No message sent if only one or the other path fails.
To scroll the choices: [∗] key scrolls forward; [backspace] key scrolls backward
[#] to continue
NOTE: IP failure will always be sent to the central station as Primary Path
Failure, and GSM failure will always be sent as Secondary Path Failure.
IP address information prompts
The following prompts appear only if IP or IP&GSM is selected as Internal
Device.
It is recommended to use dynamically allocated IP addresses, but if fixed IP
addresses are desired, contact your network administrator for the appropriate
information. Note that a valid IP address must be entered in each prompt before
the system continues to the next prompt. Entries cannot be left with the default
values.
Use DHCP
[Y] = have the IP addresses dynamically allocated (recommended), skip to
Review prompt.
[N] = use fixed IP addresses; continue with next prompt
